Talk:Progressive metal

This article has been cleaned up!
I have re-written the progressive metal article so that it is more concise and easier to read. You'll notice that I have chopped off the list of prog artists and have moved them to list of progressive metal artists. Please populate that page and keep the snippet in progressive metal for influencial/important bands! Thanks. --plattopus (talk) 18:15, Mar 2, 2005 (UTC)

I find it insulting in the extreme that the disorder of jazz is claimed to have anything to do with the extreme and perfect (if infinitely complex) order of progressive metal. Likewise quotes are heard all around. Many musicians do cite some jazz-labeled artists as having some influence, but the reverse is much more likely. Blades 19:00, Dec 31, 1969 (EST)
- You're kidding, right? Ask any progressive metal musician, and chances are they'll list at least one major jazz influence. You might prefer progressive metal as a style, but there's no arguing the fact that jazz has had a profound impact on the genre of progressive metal. --Plattopus 16:40, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
I don't think that Skid Row belongs under in the category of prog metal. I would put them under either glam or thrash. TimothyPilgrim 03:29, Feb 21, 2004 (UTC)
I don't think Tool, Skyclad, Vintersorg, Children of Bodom, King Diamond, and a bunch of other bands are progressive metal, I don't even understand how some of these bands would have made the list.
- I would definitely say that Tool are deserving of a mention, but I agree that those other bands do not belong in prog metal.
Do we really need the list of progressive metal artists in this page? Perhaps create a List of progressive metal artists page to house them? --Plattopus 16:19, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, the list is way too long. However, I think that there should be some examples on this page as well. --Jannex 09:41, 27 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The Mars Volta?
Are these guys really prog metal? I wouldn't think so, but they've been edited out and back in, now. —BenFrantzDale 15:24, Apr 25, 2005 (UTC)
